I don’t know if there really is a Field of Dreams, but I’ll be in search of it in between checking emails and getting back to you as quickly as I can. If you need something while I’m stuck in a corn field, you can send a note to my assistant and she will be happy to help you.

I am at an opera house in the countryside (i.e. without reception) and shall return to the office on XX.
Just say you’re away from your desk! Or if you’re out for more than a day, just say you’re “away” until XYZ date.
